Endothelin-2 is a peptide vasoconstrictor and ligand for the endothelin (ET) receptors ETA and ETB (Kbs= 32.8 and 1.33 nM, respectively).1 It induces β-arrestin recruitment in CHO-K1 cells expressing human ETA and ETB (pD2s =8.75 and 8.55, respectively). Ex vivo, endothelin-2 induces vformal asoconstriction in isolated rat mesenteric arterial beds (ED50 = 90.8 pmol).2 Endothelin-2 also induces contraction of isolated rat uteri, an effect which is reversed by the ETA antagonist BQ-123 but not the ETB antagonist BQ-788 .3 Infusion of endothelin-2 restores vasoconstriction of vessels at the follicular apex of the ovarian follicle and ovulation in Amhr2cre/+Smo2 mice.4

Animal experiment: | Rats[1]For the assay of pressor activity, male Wistar rats weighing 300-350 g are anesthetized with urethane (1 g/kg i.p.) and pretreated with atropine (0.25 mg/kg i.v.), propranolol (1 mg/kg i.v.), and bunazocine (1 mg/kg i.v.). Additional maintenance doses (one-half of the initial doses) of the autonomic blockades are administered every 3-4 hr. Each animal is given only one bolus of Endothelin-2. 1 nM of Endothelin-2 in 50 μL of buffer is bolus injected from a cannula inserted in the right femoral vein. The blood pressure is recorded from a cannula, which is placed in the right carotid artery and connected to a pressure transducer[1]. |
